BRADFORD DURFEE
TECHNICAL INSTITUTE
FALL RIVER ♦ MASSACHUSETTS
The students of the Class of 1951, particularly those
of the Textile Division, hold a special interest for me.
They should be congratulated on their achievements.
They have wisely improved the present and their
future accomplishments will depend on their ability to
adapt the knowledge they have acquired. It is vitally
important to have a progressive education and to keep
it well-balanced. The character of the individual will
have a definite bearing on his success in life.
This being a new era, for the Institute, insofar as
its collegiate standing is concerned, it would seem fitting
for this class to be the pioneer in the establishment of
a stronger and better alumni association which would
be very valuable to the student body as a whole and
would increase in value as the years go by.
cr-^^
Since 1929, every graduating class of every edu-
cational institution in the United States has been told
at commencement that it faces an uncertain, trouble-
some future. The prophecies proved too true. Depres-
sion, political turmoil, and war have invaded the lives
of all Americans. The remarkable fact about this period
of American history, however, has not been the correct-
ness of the commencement prophets, but rather the
toughness, adaptability and resourcefulness of the
American citizen.
The members of the Class of 1951, whose four
years of peaceful, constructive, academic achievement
have been parenthesized by war, face an uncertain
troubled future. They are equal to it. *

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The publication of the many individual and collective contributions that are a part oi a
yearbook such as THE ALETHEA, commands the appreciation and gratitude oi the editors to all
who assisted in its consummation. We sincerely thank:
The efficient and zealous staff of THE ALETHEA, who worked on the preparation, ad-seeking,
layout, writing, editing, and proofreading of every page.
Mr. Walter J. Cass our literary advisor who contributed much perseverance and time in the
preparation and editing of THE ALETHEA and was always ready and willing to assist with the
many problems that confronted us.
Mr. Kenneth C. Tedford our art advisor, whose decisions, suggestions and advice regarding
our layout, photography, and art work vitally affected the inspired appearance of this yearbook.
Professor John Stickler who encouraged us with much good counsel on how to get around.
Mr. Eugene R. Williams, Mr. Frederick Winter, and Mr. Louis S. Simeone all of whom assisted
in the preparation of material.
Mr. Samuel A. Stone and the College Bookstore who provided us with an efficient means of
distributing THE ALEJHEA.
Miss Helen Allaid of Petrie Studios who contributed much pleasant advice on the choice of
photographs.
Miss Fidelia D. Davol, Miss Margaret E. Morgan, and Miss Jacgueline P. Urban who kindly
supplied information and help whenever reguired.
Mr. Jack Brown of O'Toole & Sons whose technical information and experience and patience
were relied upon countless times during the planning and publication of THE ALETHEA.
The faculty of B. D. T. I. for their kind tolerance of the many class interruptions so that we
might take pictures.
Our advertisers who so substantially contributed to the success of this yearbook. Please give
them your consideration whenever the opportunity arises.
We started our college careers in September 1947 as the largest freshman
class ever to enter the Bradford Durfee Technical Institute. We numbered
some hundred and twenty students at that time but the years that followed
considerably thinned our ranks. On registration day President Leslie B. Coombs
spoke in the auditorium and told us of the curriculum changes which four
years later enabled us to culminate our courses with Bachelor of Science
degrees.
That first year at Tech taught us many things not included in the curric-
ulum. The idea of cramming for exams caught on very well with those who
never seemed to have the time to open a book. During free periods many of
us ran to the "Greasy Spoon" for a cup of coffee and a special group of
future engineering majors who were part of "the best class 'Professor' Simeone
ever taught", went to the Bijou to relax and talk about their Army experiences.
We soon became aware of the many foreign and out-of-town students with
us at the Institute. And co-eds also!
It seemed as though we were having a wonderful time at a country club
until midyear examination time rolled around. Burning the midnight oil and
then rising early to study again, never made for healthful living, but we wanted
to stay at Tech for the second half of our freshman year. The marks came
from the front office. A few names were on the Dean's List, a few were gone
completely, but the majority of us were going to be all right. Subjects didn't
get easier the second semester. Mr. Simone's College Algebra became Trigo-
nometry and Analytical Geometry; and Mr. Winters' WOGAPPER, something
we remember to this day, was transformed into Public Speaking. There were
fraternities at Tech, and while some of us pledged for Phi Psi, another group
became charter members of the new Epsilon Phi Pi fraternity.
After final examinations were concluded we rushed off to worry about
marks and summer jobs.
Depleted in numbers but inflated in spirit, we resumed our studies in
September 1948 determined to show our instructors that we had caught on to
the routine and would be able to take college work in stride. The situation had
changed however, and we were now into the meat or our major courses. The
textile men warily ventured into the labyrinth of machinery known as the
"annex"; the engineers moved into Professor Dillon's office; and the chemists
set up housekeeping in the third floor labs and in the new dye house. We lost
some men and all but one of our co-eds to the newly created Art and Product
Development department. It was courageous Marie Hurley who elected to stick
it out as a textile engineer.
The fraternities began their rushing for pledges and in a spirit of revelry,
the Cosmopolitan Club traveled up to Boston for dinner on a Wednesday and
managed to arrive back in Fall River the following morning just in time for
8:30 classes. The DISTAFF published its first, last, and only eight page issue
and the civils, mechanicals, and electricals got together to form the Engineering
Society. The baseball team went through a standard season and we ended
the year in a blaze of examinations.
Numerous changes had taken place at Tech by the time we returned for
the fall of 1949. A college Bookstore had opened on the second floor and it
soon became a popular gathering place for students — most of whom were
hoping to find it open. A cafeteria was installed in the lounge on the basement
floor. The cafeteria guickly became a meeting place for those of us who were
cutting classes and had the price of a cup of coffee.
Whether in class or out, we felt right at home at Tech in our junior year.
The chemists, when they weren't pushing their way through German trans-
lations for Mr. Cass, were dyeing "strings" for "Rapid Willie" Wingate. All
our engineers, including textile students were busy composing lengthy elec-
tricity lab reports for Mr. Hardy. Marie Hurley was doing wonderfully in her
third year as a textile engineer and Chris Spiliotis became the student who
gave Tech a much needed campus seal.
In September 1950 we came back to Tech for the last time. Quite a few
of us had become family men by that time and those who were married —
some of us proud papas too — looked on in pleasant amusement as our class-
mates took unto themselves wives.
We seniors met and made plans for our final year. Bob Staples was
elected president of the class; Eddie Cowell was elected vice-president, and
Al Slowe and Bob Hinves were elected secretary and treasurer respectively.
The American Association of Textile Chemist and Colorists held its 29th
annual convention in Portsmouth, New Hampshire and a large contingent of
seniors had a rip-roaring time motoring up with the Durfee Tech exhibits. The
fraternities got together to sponsor a successful Freshman Hop with more
seniors in attendance than freshmen. A few engineers had enough free time
to take Mr. Simeone's History of Mathematics elective. A "75 mile or better"
club was formed among the soccer players when car breakdowns stranded
them in New Hampshire and again in Lowell, Mass. Intrepid Marie Hurley
continued on undaunted with the textile engineers. She was helpful in keeping
the boys in line on the field trip to Gosnold Mills.
In our last semester at Tech, Mr. Cass offered a Principles of Job Seeking
elective and future employment was all we had on our minds. Personnel men
came to the Institute and interviewed us for positions and despite our appre-
hension it appeared that everything was going to turn out all right.
We graduated from Durfee Tech on June 4, 1951.

Our junior year started with a bang. Elections were held as usual and
Louis Fayan was elected President. Other officers elected were Roger Bridge
and Neil Murphy as Vice-President and Secretary-Treasurer, respectively.
What the future holds in store for the class of 1952 is yet to be seen, but
because of the ability of our classmates we are confident that we will uphold
the high tradition of Bradford Durfee Technical Institute.

In September, 1949, a group of scared but eager freshmen entered the
halls of Durfee Tech for the first time and soon found that scholastic life here
was far different from that of high school. In general, there was little time for
participation in the activities and social gatherings which were held during
the year. Yet, from our Freshman Class came the Gamma Chapter of the
Kappa Sigma Phi Sorority, the first Sorority at Tech. Among the eight charter
members were Ruth Loub, Myrbeth Weldon, Joan Seifert and Ruth Rockcliffe,
all members of our class. Ruth Loub and Myrbeth Weldon were elected to the
office of Treasurer and Vice-President respectively. In the course of their activ-
ities, our freshman girls formed a cheering squad to spur the teams on.
Working our way through the engulfing tides of finals we emerged tired
but happy knowing that for the present the worst was over.
Our history is still in the making. Although the threatening clouds of war
hover above us, we are continuing on. The prospect of leaving a job only half
done leaves us disheartened but not discouraged. If there is no alternative but
to leave, then perhaps someday when the world is at peace we can return and
take up our studies again.

Class began on September 18 for all freshmen. This was an eventful
occasion, for on this day we met our instructors for the first time. We soon
realized that the task of earning a degree was one not for a haphazard worker,
but only for an earnest student. After a few days had passed, we were ad-
justed to the college routine, and hard study was the rule.
On November 15, class elections were held under the supervision of our
faculty advisors, Mr. Tedford and Mr. Stewart, with the following results:
President, Richard White; Vice-President, Paul Parente; Secretary, Dorothy
Zebrasky; Treasurer, Stanley Sieczkowski.
In athletics, freshmen made their influence felt from the start. During the
soccer season, two booters, William Jackson and Paul Parente, contributed their
best sportsmanship to the not-very-successful team; later each boy was award-
ed the coveted letter. At the basketball tryouts, bright prospects boomed when
three of our classmates — George McGaw, Joseph Gardella, and Dean Crook
— became members of the varsity sguad, and several others made the junior
varsity.
Social events have been a welcome addition to our college life. In the fall
the very successful Freshman Hop was held at Eagles Hall, and later we en-
joyed the Christmas Dance at Stevenson's. The social climax came with the
Christmas Assembly in which freshmen contributed their share of the enter-
tainment, including participation in skits.
The resumption of classes after New Year's signified the return of students
to hard work before the mid-year examinations.
Those of us who survived are looking with anxiety to the uncertain future
that faces us in the present war crisis. We will try to gain all the education we
can, for we realize that with this advantage we shall be more valuable to our
country whether we remain civilians or become members of the armed forces.

STUDENT ACTIVITIES
BASKETBALL
The 1950-51 Basketball team played the toughest schedule that any Tech
five had to face. Our hoopsters found the going rough and were able to win
only four games while dropping fifteen.
Included among the returning veterans were Co-Captains Alex Smith and
Harold Peterson, Murray Cohen, Neil Murphy, Bill O'Neil, and Jack Wachs-
berger. The varsity squad was bolstered by George McGaw, Joe Gardella, and
Dean Crook, all up and coming freshmen.
Of the four victories, three were gained in conference play. The most
outstanding win of the year was scored against Stonehill College in a 62-61
overtime thriller. This victory, coming early in the season proved to be the
determining factor in preventing Stonehill from again taking the Southern
New England Coastal Conference crown. This game was the second conference
win for Tech and at the time raised hopes of another possible conference
championship for Tech. However, the team's determination and drive was
never again recaptured and despite its best efforts the remainder of the season
proved very dissappointing.
The '50-'51 season marked initial competition with Becker College at
Worcester, Mass., and a re-schedule with Hillyer College of Hartford, Conn.,
after a three year lapse. The teams also made trips to Newport and Providence,
Rhode Island, Bridgeport, Conn., and New Bedford, Lowell, North Easton, and
Boston, Mass.

Our 1951 Tennis Team, with only two regulars lost to graduation
last year and with a crew of eager newcomers, should have another
good season. The schedule will be rough, but Mr. Greenhalgh's boys,
we are sure, will prove a credit to the college. Ernie Vigeant, who
won the championship at the Edgewood Junior College Invitation
Tournament in May, 1950, is expected to be our outstanding star.

Under the direction of Coach Eugene Williams, the Fencing Team in its
second year at B. D.T.I, has continued the fine spirit of its initial year. The
antics in the Salle d'Armes on the third floor of the Y.M.C.A. have been a
source of enjoyment and recreation both to those students who came out for
the team and to the kibitzers who merely watched.
The Seniors, — Jack Moss, Mike Spahi, and Carmen Rendino — were a
great help in the organization and development of the team, and were always
ready to encourage the others.
This year two captains were elected — a senior. Jack Moss, and a sopho-
more, John Murray III. Harold Isserlis was elected manager. The highlights
of the year were our matches with the varsity teams from Clark University, and
the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and the Harvard freshman team.

Tech's 1950 Soccer squad had a very poor season with only 1
victory, 2 ties and 7 defeats. Due to the lack of replacements, the
players were hard pressed in most games. This was especially
noticeable in the out-of-town games. Capt. Henry Nobrega, Jim
Curtis, Mario Antonelli and Harold Peterson were the only players
returning from last year's squad.
Although they lost many games, the team remained a fighting
one; and next year's team, as a result, will be more experienced.

Durfee Tech's 1950 Baseball Team, playing under its
new Coach Bob Bannister, managed to win three of its
seven games. The record, although not an impressive
one, was somewhat better than the previous year; and
with many varsity players returning, and many baseball
aspirants in the school, Tech is hoping for a banner year
in 1951.

tional exhibits and conventions.
To the men of the Class of '51 who go on to take their places in in-
dustry alongside the brothers of years gone by — good luck and success.

In the Fall of 1946 a group of foreign students in cooperation with some
of their American classmates formed the Cosmopolitan Club. In keeping with
its name, the club has fought national and racial prejudice and fostered good
will among students of various national backgrounds. Through lectures given
by various members of the club and through meetings with the international
relations clubs of other colleges, the "Cosmos" has steadily approached its
goals.
This year the club boasted members from Burma, Egypt, France, Greece,
Honduras, Nigeria, Pakistan and Palestine. In the recent past, members have
come from China, Finland, Peru, Puerto Rico and Turkey.
One of the most popular activities of the club has been its frequent trips
to restaurants featuring the national dishes of the countries represented by
the members.

In the four years that have gone by since its inception, the Varsity
Club has grown from a small group of athletes to a prominent organi-
zation numbering more than thirty active members.
The primary purpose of this club is to establish a means of award-
ing letters to gualifying team participants and to encourage sports at
Tech. In order to become eligible for a Tech "T" a student must
play in a specified number of games in any of the major sports. A
student may also earn a letter by becoming manager in any of these
sports.
This year the Varsity Club held its annual Thanksgiving Day
raffle and also played a major part in the combined Athletic Associa-
tion and Injured Players Fund raffle.
The club's officers this year were:
President — -Harold J. Peterson
Vice-President — Dana Binkoff

In the past three years the Athletic Association has provided a good
athletic program for Tech students. The Association sponsored the major sports
of Soccer, Basketball and Baseball. These teams took road trips to play in
Connecticut, Pennsylvania and New York. Robert Bannister, a Tech graduate
and teacher at Case High School, was appointed head coach. Many other
athletic activities such as Fencing, Tennis and Bowling were encouraged by
the association. The Distaff, partially financed by the Athletic Association,
gave excellent news coverage to all the athletic events.

ONE OF THE YOUNGEST OLD COMPANIES!
The modern dyestuff industry was born in 1856 when Perkin discovered
accidentally that the oxidation of aniline yielded a beautiful violet color.
Within three years of that revolutionary event began the successful career
of Geigy as dyestuff makers.
Since 1859 Geigy has been a constant, important contributor to the science,
technology and manufacture of synthetic organic chemicals. Many important
developments have come from Geigy Research, among which have been DDT
Insecticides, Mitin Mothproofer, the Solophenyl and Cuprophenyl Colors,
Erio Chrome and Polar Colors, and the first powdered colors for acetate yarns
— the Cetacyl Direct Colors. In addition, many highly effective processes and
outstanding mill auxiliary products have been developed.
This vast store of experience and knowledge is immediately available for every
new problem that confronts the user of dyestuffs and auxiliaries. Geigy quality
products and thorough service will help you to succeed in the job for which
you have been so ably trained.

How long will the colors last?
You can only guess how long the colors will last when you
look at a nature-dyed sky.
But you can't afford to guess how long colors will last —
when you need man-made dyes, for a manufactured
product. You want to be sure the colors will last as long as the
product itself.
Our research facilities place us in an
excellent position to help you find
the right dye and the right method
of application ... to make the color
last the lifetime of your product —
